O Christmas Tree
In 1824, Ernst Anschütz wrote the modern lyrics of the German Christmas song O Tannenbaum, using an olk folk song for the music. The next time someone remarks how the best Christmas carols are in English, remind them of this song (and Silent Night, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Holy Night, etc…) But we’ve still got Grandma Got Run Over By A Reindeer!
